Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 545 Show off wealth
"It's a mythical beast from the Void,"

Zhu Tu Mengjin deliberately adjusted his non-existent glasses frame and answered with a knowing look: "I actually did see that skull before. It was in the library of Quanxian Royal City, which is also the Wisdom Palace. It was displayed on a glass table in the collection. Because it was very big and very conspicuous, I asked about it!"

Although the Jade Emperor had studied the various historical backgrounds and knowledge of the Guixu Realm in the project team's mandatory courses as required, it hadn't really stuck in his head. So he asked, "What are 'Guixu Beasts'?"

"They are the creatures we often see in the Five-Colored Array dungeon that leave behind a corpse after death. Those that don't leave behind a corpse are things formed from demonic energy, which are demons, or Nine Nether Demons. And those creatures that have a physical form but are not quite the same as normal wild beasts are collectively called Ruins Beasts. In the game, they like to call them 'wild monsters' or 'small monsters'."

Upon hearing those two familiar names at the end, the Jade Emperor suddenly realized, "That's the thing!"

The "minor monsters" described by Zhao Qing are not uncommon. The project team has studied them and speculated that they are related to the demons in the Guixu Sea. They are also widely distributed in the Nine Netherworld and the sea. Because they are not very lethal and their flesh is extremely smelly, they are not valuable at all. Therefore, they have always been regarded by players as "experience monsters".

As the name suggests, their only use is to provide experience points. Moreover, because they are not very lethal and most of them do not have any special abilities, according to Professor Wang's theory, they do not belong to the category of "spiritual beings". Therefore, even ordinary people can fight against these things if they are bold and calm.

Because they are practically useless, they have a very low profile, and even the Jade Emperor subconsciously ignores their existence.

The Emperor stroked his chin and suggested, "These things aren't hard to catch. Why don't we go and get some?"

Jieran nodded: "Let's make preparations in two ways. This is just my guess. We'll split into two teams, one to catch the small monsters and the other to catch the Nine Nether Demons."

Zhao Qing added, "Have the top players go and capture the Nine Nether Demons, preferably the really powerful ones, and capture them alive!"

After the three of them discussed and agreed, the Emperor began to command the troops.

First, they grouped together several experienced players who were skilled and had good cultivation levels into a separate team, and then added a few reliable and meticulous support players to form a team to capture the Nine Nether Demon.

Afterwards, the Emperor transferred himself to another group and said in the group voice chat: "The task for the remaining dozen or so people of us is simpler. After we leave the instance, we will be teleported to Quanxian Royal City and asked an NPC to take us to the Quanxian tribe's territory to catch some Guixu Beasts - those wild monsters. They are relatively easy to fight, so the pressure is mainly on the high-level players."

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he needed to arrange for someone to stay in the instance to protect the cooldown. He slapped his forehead in frustration and asked, "Right, we need to leave someone to protect the cooldown, otherwise we won't be able to log back in after everyone logs out. Anyone who wants to rest can just stay in the instance on cooldown! It's okay to log off!"

This is also one of the rules for copying the "Ten Continents Chronicle".

If all team members leave the instance, the instance cooldown will disappear. To explain this using a principle that players are unaware of, the illusion designed by Fang Xianyu that exists based on the players will dissipate, and naturally, there will be no "instance cooldown". Entering the instance again will lead to a new randomly generated illusion, which is a new instance cooldown.

Of course, while the dungeons within the Five-Colored Array are randomly entered small worlds, there are countless such small worlds within the array. Therefore, once all players leave the same small world, it becomes very difficult to accurately pinpoint the one they just visited—this design is also for Fang Xianyu's system energy points. If it were a Dragon Clan or Quanxian Clan's extermination group, this wouldn't be a problem. Those extermination group warriors are all at the level of Nascent Soul cultivators, or even human immortals, so finding a specific small world wouldn't be difficult for them.

Wu Tong yawned and decisively typed: "I'll stay. Anyway, I'm the boss, so I can just lie down and relax!"

The Emperor chuckled and replied, "Then we'll have to keep a few more workers to protect the boss! We must make sure you experience the warmth of a spring breeze!"

Actually, he was afraid that the boss would die in an accident. If that happened, the game mission would be a waste, but the real problem would be that it would delay α's mission!

Since the boss died, and he couldn't speak out, he had to find an excuse to leave a few more people behind as a safety net.

"It's alright, just let Xiao Zhang stay! Although he hasn't played this game for long, he's a veteran. He's a retired professional from a certain G-group, very reliable!"

Wu Tong shoved the newly appointed Secretary Zhang forward and began to boast.

Although she had booked many games with retired professional gamers, the feeling of having her older sister pay for them to be her full-time gamers was different and satisfying. Retired professional gamers can earn a considerable monthly income just by streaming and playing in entertainment matches. If they are even more successful, they can grit their teeth and work on their personal image, which would be more profitable than being a typical internet celebrity!

Therefore, Secretary Zhang's net worth...

It's really expensive! So expensive that even a rich woman like Wu Tong couldn't help but show it off!

Players in the group who were somewhat familiar with the professional gaming scene nearly popped their eyes out when they heard Wu Tong's boast: "Holy crap! It really is Poseidon? The legendary Poseidon is actually carrying a rich woman's bag!?"

Secretary Zhang's former nickname was "Poseidon" because his game name contained the character "sea." Coupled with his sharp skills and high emotional intelligence, he often made his teammates smile during his live streams. There was even a mysterious "curse" circulating in the gaming community: "Whoever plays games with Poseidon will end up laughing like a fool." Not only beautiful women were throwing themselves at him, but also gay men, leading everyone to deliberately tease him as "Poseidon," which also carries a similar connotation to "Sea King."

Wu Tong became even more smug, hands on his hips, chin held high: "Hmph! My sister spent a fortune to poach this for me! Remember to apply whenever you see my recruitment notices! I guarantee you'll get Poseidon!"

Even though the players in the team already knew the financial significance of the ID "[Mysterious Woman]", they were still stunned by Wu Tong's flaunting of wealth. Everyone immediately knelt down and started spewing out witty remarks without restraint.

"Hey! Rich lady! Rich lady boss! Does our sister have a boyfriend? Can you not be so strict about gender?"

"Rich woman! No, sister! I am your half-sister, sister!"
